2020 Ski-Doo Snowmobile Engine Oil Recommendations

2020 Ski-Doo Summit X

Here are our oil recommendations for the 2020 Ski-Doo snowmobile line-up.

Ski-Doo’s product line sees modest changes for 2020. However, one of the big highlights is the revamping of Expedition line of touring/utility sleds. These models now ride on Ski-Doo’s top-shelf REV Gen4 chassis. Another interesting addition is the optional “Expert” package for the Summit X mountain sled. The Expert package is tailored for serious back-country powder carving.

There is an interesting Ski-Doo-related update regarding AMSOIL products. Ski-Doo now dictates that injector oils must meet the JASO FD oil standard for their E-TEC 2-stroke engines. AMSOIL Interceptor meets and exceeds the JASO FD specification. Therefore, the JASO FD spec has now been added to the Interceptor label.

Below is a list of the entire 2020 Ski-Doo snowmobile line along with the correct AMSOIL synthetic oil recommendation for each model and engine option.

AMSOIL Synthetic Products For 2020 Ski-Doo Snowmobile Models

AMSOIL Interceptor Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil For E-TEC Engines
Interceptor delivers all of the performance and protection offered by BRP 2T E-TEC Full-Synthetic Oil. However, Interceptor is available at a lower price (request a price list with the form on this page). Interceptor has been fully and thoroughly tested in E-TEC engines. Our customers have logged hundreds of thousands of real-world miles with Interceptor in E-TEC motors. The clean RAVE valves, exceptional performance and world-class protection leaves no doubt. AMSOIL Interceptor is the ultimate E-TEC injector oil.

AMSOIL Synthetic 2-Stroke Injector Oil
Why not replace XPS 2T Carb Premium Mineral Oil with full-synthetic injector oil at a lower price? AMSOIL Synthetic Injector Oil is perfect for any recreational or work snowmobile. It is even suitable for older Ski-Doo models with RAVE valves. Interceptor is our dedicated E-TEC oil, but this product can be used in any other Ski-Doo 2-stroke engine. AMSOIL Injector Oil delivers clean operation, outstanding performance and great wear protection at a value price. It can also be used as a premix.

AMSOIL Formula 4-Stroke 0W-40 Synthetic Oil
An upgrade over XPS 4T 0W-40 Synthetic Oil. Excellent for ACE 600 and 900 4-stroke engines. Designed for both turbo-charged and non-turbo engines. Pours down to -51°C (-60°F) for fast cold-start protection. Withstands extreme heat, heavy loads and long days in the saddle.

AMSOIL Interceptor Now Carries JASO FD Spec For Ski-Doo E-TEC

,

AMSOIL Interceptor Synthetic 2-Stroke Injector OilAMSOIL Interceptor Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil now meets and exceeds the requirements for the JASO FD industry specification. Why does this matter? Ski-Doo recently started recommending the use of JASO FD-compliant 2-stroke oils for their E-TEC snowmobile engines.

AMSOIL Interceptor has been extensively tested for use in Ski-Doo E-TEC engines. The addition of this spec further cements Interceptor’s credentials as the ideal 2-stroke oil for E-TEC engines. We have received nothing but rave reviews about Interceptor from our E-TEC customers. Best of all, the 100% synthetic Interceptor is priced lower than Ski-Doo/BRP 2T E-TEC Synthetic Oil or BRP Synthetic 2-Stroke Oil.

What Is The “JASO FD” 2-Stroke Oil Specification?

JASO FD is a two-stroke oil industry specification set by the Japanese Automotive Standards Organization.

As with previous JASO two-stroke oil specs, JASO FD has a number of performance and smoke guidelines. This newest “FD” specification places a much greater emphasis on detergency and engine cleanliness.

How Is AMSOIL Interceptor Suitable For Ski-Doo E-TEC Engines?

The direct injection Ski-Doo E-TEC engine sets new standards in terms of fuel efficiency, low emissions and horsepower per cubic centimeter.

One of the main features of E-TEC engines is that they consume very little 2-stroke oil. A relatively small amount of oil is the difference between peak performance or an expensive engine failure. For this reason, E-TEC engines require a very advanced synthetic 2-stroke oil. AMSOIL Interceptor offers highly sophisticated synthetic anti-wear chemistry. Extensive testing in Ski-Doo E-TEC engines has proven that Interceptor provides outstanding wear control.

Another important oil requirement for E-TEC’s is cleanliness. The precise E-TEC engines require very clean internals. This is the main reason why BRP is requiring the use of 2-stroke oils that meet the JASO FD spec. Interceptor has world-class cleaning ingredients that keep E-TEC engines operating at their peak. It also keeps RAVE variable exhaust power valves clean which optimizes performance. AMSOIL Interceptor’s clean-burning performance exceeds the JASO FD requirements.

One of the special features of the E-TEC engine is a (mostly) one-pull start in extreme cold. AMSOIL Interceptor pours down to -56°C (-69°F) for instant cold-start oil flow.

Interceptor ticks all of the boxes for E-TEC use. It provides elite wear protection, high film strength, minimal friction, robust detergent ingredients and low-smoke.

In conclusion, Interceptor offers all of these features at a lower price than BRP 2T E-TEC Synthetic Oil.
